5/9 + 1/3
5/9 + 3/9 --> Find common denominator
8/9 --> add numerators
The correct answer is "It uses a specific example as evidence".
Literary evidence is <u>all information used to support a specific statement</u>. In the line given, we don't know exactly what assertion it is supporting. However, <u>we can deduce from the introducing phrase "One of the worst case" that it is presenting a testimonial example to strengthen a bigger theme, using it as evidence</u>. This makes the first option more fitting than the rest.
Hope this helps!
Lets say the number = x
the equation is:
2/3 x - 6 = -10 (add 6 to each side)
2/3 x - 6 + 6 = -10 + 6
2/3 x = -4 (multiply each side by 2/3 's reciprocal or 3/2)

x =

x = -6
The number is -6
